Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform

The table below lists all of the bodies under the aegis of my Department for the information of the Deputy. None of these bodies are commercial Semi-State companies. Most of these bodies are funded through their own Votes and the remainder are either grant funded or self-funded and, as such, no dividends have been payable since the Department was established in 2011.
